spinal MRI

Vertebral imaging test

A spinal MRI is a diagnostic imaging scan of the spine using magnetic resonance technology.

It produces detailed images of vertebrae, discs, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues without radiation.

Doctors order spinal MRIs to investigate back pain, nerve compression, herniated discs, tumors, or injuries: The spinal MRI showed a bulging disc at L4-L5.
